social networking goes to the dogs...

In MarketWire today there is an announcement for Six Degrees of Separation for Your Pets.

Backwash a Boston, Massachusetts based company that grew out of a personal project of founder David Ring, today announced - Backwash for Pets - "the first social networking site for pets and their owners."

David Ring comments: "The whole pets concept grew organically. A few of our Backwash.com visitors registered under their pets' names, uploaded their pet photos, wrote profiles for their pets and then engaged in message board discussions posing as their pets. The idea quickly caught on like wildfire and the spin-off site Backwashpets.com is the end result."

Backwash was founded in August, 1997 and is headquartered in Boston, MA. (Sounds like an 'only in California' concept to me, but hey... (^:)
